When to Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge to see what was out there. The weather was poor as it was cloudy & misty. Despite the weather conditions I decided to position myself next to a lake and wait to see if something would fly by.  After half an hour 2 eagles flew over.

One of them bank to the left so I knew he saw something and was probably coming in for a closer look. He came down with his talons out  and grabbed this fish.

On days like this I ask where is the sunlight?
